What is golden milk (aka turmeric latte)?

Golden milk or turmeric lattes are made with milk and turmeric as the core ingredients. Most people like to add spices like cinnamon and a sweetener like honey or maple syrup. My favorite spices to use are ginger, cardamom, turmeric and cinnamon. The combination is literally to die to for and sooo cozy! I typically use almond milk because it’s my fav but any milk works!

How to make golden milk:

There are 2 ways you can make it:

On the stove: Put your milk, spices and sweetener in a saucepan and cook on medium until it’s almost boiling. Make sure to whisk often.

In a blender: To make golden milk in a blender, you’ll want to heat up the milk, spices and sweetener on the stove. Then transfer it to a blender and mix on high until it’s frothy (about 1 minute). I prefer the blender method because it ensures all of the spices are really mixed in but either way works!

Why I drink golden milk:

I’m a huge fan of golden milk! I used to be SUPER dependent on coffee…. to the point where it would ruin my day when I couldn’t have coffee (on vacations I’d be a REAL BITCH if I couldn’t find coffee right away). At that time, I was also experiencing constant, extreme anxiety which stemmed from my obsession with the pursuit of perfect health (you can read more about that here).

When I discovered intuitive eating, it made me curious about how coffee was affecting how I felt. I started to try other drinks that still gave me the warm and fuzzies but didn’t have caffeine or as much caffeine. I started drinking matcha and golden milk lattes and they felt sooo good in my body. Over time, I stopped drinking coffee entirely. I realized it was amplifying my anxiety and I just really didn’t have a healthy relationship with it. I have a really addictive personality so any time I feel like I need something every day, I know I need to check in with myself.

However, with that being said, I know coffee can feel amazing for some people so I’d encourage you to listen to your body and do what works for you!

I know you’re probably thinking, ugh this sounds great but idk how to really listen to my body? I’ve got good news for you. I have a free library of resources (intuitive eating guides, ebooks, journal prompts & more!) to help you get back in touch with your body! Click below to get access!

Can golden milk be made in advance?

Yes, it’s sometime nice to make prep it the night before if you want to drink it in the morning. Just make it as you normally would and store in the fridge. When you’re ready to drink it, heat it up on the stove and whisk until it’s almost boiling or heat it up in the microwave! It’s better fresh though and only takes 5 minutes to make so I suggest making it on the spot if you can!
